Interesting post.
DHR - You want "others" to satisfy "your" wants..??
What the hell. It's obvious that you have a computer, it's somewhat obvious that you are computer literate. Why, oh why, don't "YOU" do a search for a gun that "YOU" like. ONLY YOU will have to be happy with your next gun choice, not anyone else..! All of the same web sites available to others are...available to...you.
Save the time of the middle man (men), and do yoursearching on your time, you may actually save time ! You won't be looking at everyone else's recommendations..!

Like I mentioned in my original post, I haven't airgun shopped in years and just wanted some ideas from the community here. I appreciate their feedback and suggestions which have been helpful. Sorry if my post somehow pissed you off, but I don't think it was out of line.
DHR -
Where do you get that I was ANY...sort of pissed off, in any way ?
BUT...I know when I am looking for my next..."what ever it may be", (car stuff, bike stuff, gun stuff, crossbow stuff...), I know that the only one that can satisfy me, is me. I know that if I picked someone else's choice of what I should spend my money on, and at any point down the road...I decided that I wasn't happy with THAT...person's decision, I'd be pretty pissed that I could not make up my own mind..!!
Out of all of my friends, there's ONE... guy that I would trust pushing me toward an item. And that's only because we've known each other for over 40 years, and we;ve got a pretty good idea what each other likes, car and girl wise anyway..!
I do look at others "opinions"...on the various forums and youtube videos, but again, that's JUST to provide another opinion...on what
I'VE, previously decided as my next possible purchase, NOT their "pushing" me to a given unsolicited push toward something. "I" will make the initial decision, then...I'll read about others opinions on that particular item.
Perfect example. I recently purchased a BSA, Defiant rifle. I like about 85% of the rifle. This includes the look, the mechanical's, the shooting, etc. In most of the forums that I read, including here (!?!), it doesn't seem to get much love, anywhere. IF...I'd have asked questions about this rifle, I would have steered away from it...completely. Funny thing is, once in my hands and especially the more I shoot it, the more "I" like it. It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks if it, only...me.
So...again, I'm not at all...upset, annoyed, pissed or any other negative adjective to you or your question. YOUR MONEY, your time. To me, your initial pick of something, should just be just that "your pick, not anyone else's.
